The first doses of COVID-19 vaccines are expected to arrive in Brevard County next week, according to the latest information from the Florida Department of Health.
The state said it planned to distribute the vaccines to 173 hospitals that did not receive doses of the Pfizer vaccine this week. They include:
Health First Regional Medical Center
Cape Canaveral Hospital
Kindred Hospital Melbourne
Melbourne Regional Medical Center
Palm Bay Hospital
Parrish Medical Center

The state did not say how many doses each hospital would get. The first doses are slated for frontline healthcare workers. But for the general public, the county said the vaccine might not be available until late spring or early next summer.
